I've seen that topic at HotFix.net and I'm surprised!

Whoops, sorry for the double post but I didn't see the preceding post with the solution :)

Hi everyone

I wanted to add a tidbit of information I've discovered about live preview. It only works when a window isn't minimized. Yes, I have the latest drivers and updates. I don't know if that is the original intention of Microsoft but that's what i've noticed over the 10 months with the OS

Cheers

Hey LexComm and anyone else who has the live preview problem,

The reason live preview is showing still images is because you have that window minimized. It will work if you leave the window up.

I have the same problem with the Live Preview in the taskbar. Whenever I have a window minimized and I want a live preview of it I only get a still picture. I have update my monitor to the latest Vista drivers and my video card drivers. It still doesn't work.

Hey DaMan1234: can you clarify? I will try to help, but the newsgroups are a better place to seek support.

Hey Hunter1942: not that I know of -- the galss effect goes away when you maximize a window.

I am having the same problem as Hunter1942 and LexComm, how can I fix it? I updated my drivers but still no luck.

I take that back... it stopped working... again.

Hey Nick,

It turned out I was trying to add custom themes for Vista and I patched the system files for it and now the Live Preview works. I still didn't get custom themes but I got Live Preview. I have another question. When I maximize a window is there a way I can get it to be glass also? I dislike the black/blue effect or whatever it is that shows when it is maximized. Hopefully you can get back to me soon.

Nick, just for fun, I tried another restore date and after that, a pop-up showed Java was corrupt. So for now, I'm not reinstalling Vista. See how long it lasts. Sorry about venting at you, but it just gets frustrating at times. You can delete my posts if you wish. But WM stll is an issue.

Nick, I tried the System Restore, restting Vista back to the date I bought this computer. The program did as promised, saving all of my documents and pictures. It also saved the stuck email. I restored it back to the present date, and now IE has problems. When you open a window, prompted by a program, IE shuts down. Closes completly. Now I am backing up all my files and restoring the computer with the recovery discs provided by the computer company. I hope you and the other Vista teams get some patches for WM and the other issues folks are having soon. Re-installing the entire OS is not fun.

Hey Nick,

I am having the problem with the Live Preview also and unfortunately updating my monitor drivers and video drivers doesn't solve the problem. Is there another way to fix this problem?

Hey again LexComm: my understanding is that you must use Windows Update to download and install the MUI language packs, and that you cannot download them from another location/source.

Hey stephensaw: not that I'm aware. In fact, saving a version of the Windows Update download(s) would defeat the purpose of using the internet to ensure you've always got the latest version of the available software, so it might be by design that you cannot do so.
